Very interesting, a Teddy/Emily episode. Finally a side-character is put alongside Emily on the spotlight again. This mostly is because of a new teacher that arrives on the Blair Water School, who has especially influence on the two of them. He’s a rather middle-aged man who encourages everyone to work on their potential. That’s something that Teddy’s mother opposes with all her power. Here again we see how overprotective she is.
Emily, again, shows how overly poetic she is when she doesn’t like the new teacher because he jokingly insults her and her poetry when he first sees her (based on information he got from the previous teacher). It takes her nearly half an episode to forgive him. ^^; I also couldn’t help but notice that Emily and Teddy were quite close in this episode. 🙂
Perry, meanwhile, continues to slowly develop each episode. We only see him for a limited amount of time in each episode, but he’s definitely growing. This time, we see him participate in a class play to illustrate the battle of Waterloo, even though he’s not supposed to be in the class. We also see him envy Emily, Ilse and Teddy for actually having education. The best he has is Jimmy, who is more of a gardening-expert than a teacher. Ilse, meanwhile spent her time in the background. She never really was that important in the episode, but she was really fun to watch, with all her different antics. :)]]>
